First session of the semester:
I was able to get a permission from the building management that, while having our show in the old Utrecht store on the first floor of the building for the extended period, we could use the space for our painting sessions.
Lindsay the librarian was our first guest model of the semester.
It was her third time posing for the club.
Exposed to the public through large windows at the corner of Michigan Ave. and Van Buren St., our session attracted some curious onlookers both outside and inside.
The big challenge was the changing eastern natural light and the very strong artificial light from high ceiling, as well as the white wall that bounced strong reflected light back to the model.

About Me

About my paintings

Paintings in this blog are head study paintings done in Friday Painting Club with students at the American Academy of Art, where I teach oil painting classes. They are painted in oil from life as we take turns posing for each other during a 3-hour session.

Although this blog is mainly about paintings from the Friday sessions, I plan to post additional head study paintings from other occasions.
